John Boyega walked around Star Wars Celebration in disguise

The Star Wars Celebration has come and gone. Fans from around the world converged onto the Anaheim Convention Center just for a chance to get a sneak peek of what J.J. Abrams had in store for later this year. Some of the cast and crew of Star Wars: The Force Awakens were in attendance including many of the new faces in the franchise. In fact, during the convention one of the new cast members in particular decided to walk around the convention halls in disguise.

Attack the Block‘s John Boyega donned a 327th Star Corps Trooper helmet and walked around the convention buying stuff from various vendors in the exhibit hall. The idea is not that uncommon, since it was only a couple years back that reports came out that Bryan Cranston walked around Comic-Con dressed as Walter White. Boyega has proclaimed numerous times to be an avid Star Wars fan, and it would only seem natural he would want to pick up a few things while at the con without getting rushed by fans.

So far I have only been able to find one photo of John Boyega in a lightsaber duel with a fan. The fan was completely unaware of who his duel combatant really was. That should make for a nice story to tell the folks back home.

Hopefully more photos and cool stories from fans will pop up after this report.
